Blended Whisky 'Akashi - Goju 50 Sherry Cask'

• Blended Japanese whisky produced by Eigashima Shuzo in Akashi, Japan
• A blend of wheat, rye, and malted barley lightly peated to 10ppm
• Distilled twice in copper pot stills
• Aged 3 years in a variety of casks (new oak, ex-bourbon, ex-shochu) and finished for approximately 2 years in ex-sherry casks; non-age statement
• Aromas of raisin, smoked sea salt, and vanilla pastry transition to a palate of assertive baking spice and well-integrated sherry with flinty dark chocolate on the finish.
• Non-chill filtered; 50% ABV

Destined to be a classic, this beautifully blended whisky from Eigashima Shuzo is a sherry-cask-finished version of their flagship blended whisky, bottled at a punchy 100-proof (goju translates to “fifty” in reference to the increased ABV). With an average age of 5 years, Goju 50 dances between floral sweetness and dry salinity with gentle smoke.
